Facilities within the Property

For those who don't mind trading a few hours of sightseeing for the chance to tinker in an Italian kitchen, the agriturismo offers cooking classes in English. A typical half-day session includes a gourmet shopping tour and the preparation of a complete meal (lunch or dinner).

The menu might call for cured meats, including the local specialty, wild boar; cheeses; bruschetta with fresh, diced tomatoes; red and yellow bell peppers fried in olive oil with capers, olives and anchovies; homemade ravioli stuffed with ricotta cheese and Swiss chard from the family garden; and for dessert, panna cotta, a silky custard topped with a hazelnut-honey paste. You'll soon come to appreciate why Italian cuisine is so highly regarded!

Please note that short stays are available for minimum of 3 nights during Bank holidays. There is a minimum of 2 nights stay for the rest of the year. Hands-on cooking classes are available for 2 to 6 participants, please reserve in advance. This is an old building with no elevator, in case of mobility problems please inquire about availability of ground floor rooms.
